Fact-checking claims about Indian Status | APTN News: Answers

No taxes, free housing, and free tuition? You've probably seen those claims online about Indian Status—but are they actually true? InFocus is taking a break for the summer, so while we're away, we're sharing some of our other work with you. Jesse Andrushko and Savannah Kelly launched a new YouTube series called APTN News Answers, where they break down questions, current events, and issues affecting Indigenous peoples. According to the latest Census, more than 830 thousand First Nations people in Canada are registered under the Indian Act. There are plenty of misconceptions about what that status does and doesn't provide. So they dug into the facts. Here's that episode of APTN News Answers.
